Many of you know our young friend Samantha Kemper. She was just 23 years old and was facing her third round of oral cancer. I had the pleasure of getting to know Samantha thru many emails and phone calls. Samantha has fought long and hard. Unfortunately Samantha has recently passed away. Here is the link to her profile on OCF where you can read a few of her posts. I have also included the link to the funeral home where her services will be held on Monday.
